Package
A single, compact package contains all excitation control and power components.
The front panel provides local annunciation through light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Remote annunciation
and control is provided through a flexible communication interface, which accommodates Ethernet and
USB.
Optional Features and Capabilities
DECS-150 optional features and capabilities are defined by a style number. The model number and style
number describe options and characteristics in a specific device and appear on a label affixed to the
device.
